Numbers

so here's a couple numbers that got my heart pumping a little bit just thinking about them...

i saw a similar car to mine...a FSAE car, and it had a 600cc CBR engine. compare some of these numbers:

600CC car:
74hp to the wheels
650 lbs
seats one
power to weight ratio--8.78 lbs per hp
0-60 time: 3.35 sec

non turbo gecko:
150hp to the rear wheels
900 lbs
seats two
power to weight ratio: 6 lbs per hp
est. 0-60 time: 2.8-3.0 sec

turbo gecko:
240 hp
935 (est) lbs
seats two
power to weight ratio: 3.75 lbs per hp
est 0-60 time: 2.2-2.7 sec

and they all get around FORTY MPG!

i love it :-)
